Living near Carmel Valley Village is highly sought after and desirable. You will have immediate access to the charms of the Village and the essence of the Carmel Valley. And with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year you will experience heavenly weather and take advantage of all the outdoors have to offer. Though the beauty of Carmel Valley does not diminish as you travel down the Valley Road into the more remote areas, it can be just that-remote and poses its own set of challenges. To be close to the Village is a central location where you are never far away from modern day conveniences and only a short drive away to the coast where there Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach and Monterey offer superb entertainment, recreation and conveniences. If you ever tire of the sunshine, though few do, a drive to the coast in the summertime will cool you with its natural “air conditioning” of marine fog. Whether you choose an estate in Sleepy Hollow where you can rise early on an autumn day to care for the horses and prepare for a brisk trail ride or a home in Los Tulares where you can relax on you deck, sip a glass of wine and soak in the views, or a home in the Village where you can walk to a casual dinner with friends and sit alfresco and enjoy a culinary delight, your home will be a treasured retreat in its ideal Carmel Valley locale.
